=== Signal transduction === {{Unreferenced|section|date=February 2020}} Axoplasm is integral to the overall function of neurons in propagating action potential through the axon. The amount of axoplasm in the axon is important to the cable like properties of the axon in cable theory. In regards to [[cable theory]], the axoplasmic content determines the resistance of the axon to a potential change. The composing cytoskeletal elements of axoplasm, neural filaments, and microtubules provide the framework for axonal transport which allows for [[neurotransmitters]] to reach the [[synapse]]. Furthermore, axoplasm contains the pre-synaptic vesicles of neurotransmitter which are eventually released into the [[synaptic cleft]].
